Christian life

Illustration★★★★

432. E. Stanley Jones was pleading with a group of young people in India. “I wish you would stand up and tell me, if you will, why you are not Christians. Why will you not become Christians? What do you think of Christ? Why will you not follow him?” Then one young Indian answered, “Your Christ is wonderful, but you Christians are not like him.”

The point

E. Stanley Jones asked youth why not Christian; one replied Christ is wonderful but Christians don't resemble Him; includes list of Christian life essentials.
